The Art of Value Engineering

You may hear the term "value engineering" used to describe the Thomas Custom Builders approach. But what does that really mean?

Simply, value engineering is a system we use to improve the ratio of function to cost. There are four basic steps in the value engineering process:

1. Information gathering. Here, we look at existing conditions (for instance, your current structure for a remodeling project or the site for a new home) and pinpoint your budget and requirements for the project in terms of both function and style.
2. Idea generation. In this step, we brainstorm creative and innovative ways to reconcile your vision with what you can afford.
3. Evaluation. Each option is carefully evaluated for impact, cost and performance, from choosing designers and suppliers to material selection and scheduling.
4. Selection. In the final step, we work with you to finalize the best alternative that meets your requirements while maximizing cost savings to you.

The Art of Constructing Beautiful Family Room Additions in Northern Virginia

Thomas Custom Builders knows that constructing family room additions is both an art and a science. We know that adding a family room addition to your home is an enormous undertaking, often second in scope only to remodeling a kitchen building or building a brand new home.

Why Add a Family Room Addition?

There are many good reasons to add a family room addition to your home. A family room frequently is larger than the home's living room, and allows for larger, more informal gatherings when the living room is reserved for formal guest situations. Many households today also reserve the family room for their TV watching, helping to preserve the furniture and carpets in the more formal living room. Family rooms are also frequently used when entertaining family and friends, particularly when the kitchen or original living/dining area is too small or cramped.

Perhaps you’ve recently added members to your family such as new children or older parents, and your home is feeling extra crowded. Whatever your reasons may be, Thomas Custom Builders is here to help you plan, design, and build your new family room addition to meet the needs of your particular household situation.

Factors to Consider While Planning Your Family Room Addition:

• Consider where you would like your family room addition to be located. First-floor family rooms are the most popular among prospective homebuyers, but the location is totally up to you.
• Think about where doors would be most appropriate, including any to the outside of the house, as well as interior doors leading from the family room addition to the rest of the house.
• Consider what is an appropriate size for your family room addition. Think about what size room would complement your already existing home, and also think about how the new room will be used, and by whom.
• Think about what kind of furniture and appliances (such as a TV or a stereo system) that you would like to be able to fit into your new family room addition. This should also help you figure out what size the new room should be.

Keep in mind that while there are many different decisions to make regarding a family room addition, Thomas Custom Builders will use their years of experience to help you in the decision making process. However, no one knows your home better than you do, and Thomas Custom Builders will work with you to design and build a family room addition that you will enjoy for years.
